I-Team: Special needs resident at licensed home 'in starvation mode,' family says

By Randy Travis Published December 8, 2021 FAYETTEVILLE, Ga. - A Fayette County family cannot understand how their special needs loved one apparently went months without being properly fed even though he was in the care of a state-licensed facility. Charlie Glass, 20, was born prematurely to a cocaine-addicted mother. But his luck changed a few days later when Betty Glass walked into the hospital and saw him for the first time. "I fell in love with that little wrinkly little baby," said Betty, now 75. "You should have seen him. Little white thing laying there. He was all wrinkled up and everything. I go, ‘Oh that’s my baby!’" Betty took Charlie into her Fayetteville home, just like she had so many other foster children. They fit birthday parties between the three heart surgeries, family fun for a child who would never talk and until more surgeries had club feet and an extra finger. "I found joy taking care of that little baby," Betty said. She would eventually adopt Charlie, knowing full well he would always require diapers. A feeding tube was placed in his stomach to nourish him along a few favorite foods he liked to be spoon-fed. It was all going well until this year.
